FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a hair setting device for setting hair to have a desired shape; and, more particularly, to a hair setting device for setting a desired hair style just by combing one's hair without having one's hand stained with hair setting material such as mousse

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Conventionally, in order to make a desired hair style, one uses a hair dryer to make his or her hair half-dried and then fixes the hair by using hair setting material such as a hair spray, hair gel or mousse.

The hair spray is used directly onto the one's hair to fix a hair style which is already in a desired shape. On the contrary, the hair gel or mousse is used to make a desired hair style while they are still wet and then dried to fix the style.

Among these hair setting materials, the mousse is a viscous fluid generally filled in a container with air and, since the mousse dries fast and is easy to use, it is getting popular. When one uses the mousse to set one's hair style, a required amount of the mousse is discharged out of the container onto a comb or hand. However, the comb usually does not have enough area to accommodate the required amount of the mousse. Further, in case one uses one's hand, he or she has to wash his or her hand to remove the remaining mousse on the hand.

A third embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11.

As shown in FIG. 9, a comb 100 includes a base portion 110 and teeth 120. The comb 100 is connected to a main body 10 of a hair setting device by fitting the base portion 110 of the comb 100 into a guide groove 11 formed on the main body 10 (See FIG. 2).

Further, a storage part 111 is formed at the base portion 110 of the comb 100 and stores setting materials provided to the guide groove 11 through the main body 10 of the hair setting device. The storage part 111 includes spouting holes 112 formed therein for spouting out the setting materials supplied from a container 1 toward the space between the teeth 120. The storage part 111 stores therein a certain amount of setting materials when the setting materials are provided from the container 1 and then discharging the setting materials through the spouting holes 112 in order to control the discharging pressure or discharge rate of the spouted materials to be same.

The spouting holes 112 starting from the inside of the storage part 111 are formed in such a manner that outlets thereof are disposed between the teeth 111 or at a side of each of the teeth 120 after passing through central portions of the teeth 120. Absorbent members 130 are installed adjacent to the spouting holes 112 between the teeth 120 in order to absorb the setting materials discharged from the spouting holes 112.

The absorbent members 130 prevent the discharged setting materials, e.g., mousse, from being liquefied and flowing down along the surface of the teeth 120 or the main body 10 when the mousse touches the teeth 120. Further, the absorbent members 130 uniformly touch the surface of a user's hair and help the mousse contained therein to be evenly distributed.

In general, the absorbent members 130 are made of sponge or sponge-like materials and can have a form of a brush or the like if required.

FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 show different types of absorbent members. In FIG. 10, the spouting holes 112 and brushes 131 are located between the teeth 120, wherein the brushes 131 function as the absorbent members 130 and are installed in parallel with each of the teeth 120. On the other hand, in FIG. 11, the spouting holes 112 are positioned such that the outlets thereof are located at sides of each of the teeth 120 and the brushes 131 are installed in a discharging direction of the spouting holes 112.

Accordingly, the setting materials provided to the main body 10 from the container 1 are spurted to the guide groove 11 through the inside of the main body 10 and gathered in the storage part 111 formed on the base portion 110 of the comb 100. Then the gathered setting materials are spurted out between the teeth 120 at an identical discharge rate or blast pressure through the spouting holes 112. Thus spurted-out setting materials are firstly absorbed by the absorbent members 130 and then uniformly coated on user's hair when the user combs.

Further, the combs shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 can be used in dying hair as well as putting hair setting materials, e.g., mousse.

As described above, the combs in accordance with the third embodiment of the present invention employs the absorbent members to prevent the hair setting materials discharged from the spouting holes in the hand part from being liquefied in contact with the teeth and flowing down the teeth. The absorbent members also help the hair setting materials to be uniformly coated on the user's hair by uniformly touching the hair when combing.

A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described hereinafter with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13.

As shown in FIG. 12, a mousse supplying device includes a valve housing 200 having therein a nozzle settling part 201 and a mousse introducing room 202, a blast nozzle located at the nozzle settling part 201 of the valve housing 200 with one end thereof projected out of the top of the valve housing 200 and connected to an operating valve 40 of a main body 10, an adjustable valve 220 located within the mousse introducing room 202 of the valve housing 200 and moved upward and downward by the blast nozzle 201 for gating the nozzle settling part 201 and the mousse introducing room 202, a barrierplate 230 installed at a bottom of the valve housing 200 for blocking the mousse introducing room 202, a mousse introducing hole 231 formed on the barrierplate 230, a spring 222 located between the barrierplate 230 and the adjustable valve 220 for supporting the variable value 220, a hose 250 whose one end is connected to the mousse introducing hole 231 of the barrierplate 230, a motor pump 260 connected to the valve housing 200 through the hose 250 and a mousse absorbing pipe 161.

The valve housing 200 has a shape of a cylinder and a screw thread formed therearound. The valve housing 200 is connected to the main body 10 either by directly engaging the screw thread thereon with the main body 10 or by using a bush. The nozzle settling part 201 is prepared at an upper portion of the valve housing 200 and the mousse introducing room 202 is formed at the bottom portion of the valve housing 200. The nozzle settling part 201 and the mousse introducing room 202 are controlled to communicate with each other or be blocked from each other by movements of the adjustable valve 220 installed within the mousse introducing room 202. The adjustable valve 220 moves along with the blast nozzle 210 located at the nozzle settling part 201 and the blast nozzle 210 is interlocked with the operating valve 40 of the main body 10. The end portion of the blast nozzle 210 whose lower part is fixed on the nozzle settling part 201 within the valve housing 200 is projected out of the top of the valve housing 200. Accordingly, if the valve housing 200 is connected to the main body 10, the end portion of the blast nozzle 210 becomes to abut on the operating valve 40 of the main body 10. Thus, when the operating valve 40 is pressed and pushed down by a bottom 44, the blast nozzle also moves downward along with the operating valve 40 and operates to press the adjustable valve 220.

Further, an O-ring is installed at an outer surface of the blast nozzle 210 so as to firmly adhere the blast nozzle to the inner surface of the nozzle settling part 201. A rubber plate 221 is attached to the top of the adjustable valve 220 in order to seal areas between the nozzle settling part 201 and the mousse introducing space 202.

The mousse introducing space 202 is sealed by the barrier plate 230 installed at the bottom of the valve housing 200 and the mouse inlet 231 is formed at a center of the barrier plate 230. The motor pump 260 is coupled to the mousse introducing hole 231 through the hose 250. A hose fixing cover 240 is connected to the valve housing 200 so as to fix the hose 250 at the barrier plate 221. Further, the spring 222 is installed between the barrier plate 230 and the adjustable valve 220 to support the adjustable valve upward and helps the adjustable valve 220 in separating the nozzle settling part 201 and the mousse introducing space 202.

The motor pump 260 is connected to the inside of a mousse container 270 through the mousse absorbing pipe 261. The operation of the motor pump 260 is controlled by a pressure sensor (not shown) and automatically initiated when an internal pressure of the valve housing 200 falls below a predetermined level.

Meanwhile, the blast nozzle 210 and the mousse absorbing pipe 261 in accordance with the fourth embodiment of the present invention have a plurality of mousse inlets 212 and 262, respectively. Thus, though end portions of the blast nozzle 210 and the mousse absorbing pipe 261 are adhered to the top of the adjustable valve 220 and the inner bottom of a container 1, respectively, introduction of the mousse can be performed through the side thereof. Further, a swirling line 211 is formed at the inner surface of the blast nozzle 210 to allow the mousse passing through the nozzle 210 to flow in whirls and form bubbles.

Next, the way of using the mousse supplying device in accordance with the fourth embodiment and effects thereof will be described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 13. First, the mousse container 270 containing therein a great amount of mousse is placed at a separated place and the motor pump 260 is installed adjacent to the mousse container 270, wherein the mousse container 270 and the motor pump 260 are connected to each other through the mouse absorbing pipe 261. Thereafter, the valve housing 200 is connected to the body of the hair setting device and also connected to the motor pump 260 by fitting the hose 250 to the mousse introducing hole 231 on the barrier plate 230 which is formed at the bottom of the value housing 200.

One end portion of the operating valve 40 is an incline and the incline is in contact with the button 44. Thus, when a user presses the button 44, the operating valve 40 is also pressed and transferred downward to thereby press the blast nozzle 210 and the adjustable valve 220 as well. When the adjustable valve 220 is pressed, the mousse introducing space 202 and the nozzle settling part 201 once blocked from each other come to be inter-communicated and the mousse provided to the mousse introducing space 202 is spouted through the blast nozzle 210 and introduced to the inside of the body 10 through the operating valve adjacent to the blast nozzle 210. When passing through the blast nozzle 210, the mousse is forced to swirl and generate bubbles by the spiral lines formed at the inner surface of the blast nozzle 210.

When the mousse is discharged from the blast nozzle 200, the pressure within the valve housing 200, i.e., the pressure in the mousse introducing space 202 is lowered and the lowered pressure is detected by a pressure sensor. Then, the operation of the motor pump 260 is automatically initiated so that the mousse is provided from a mousse container 170 through the mousse absorbing pipe 261.

Meanwhile, when the user stops to press the button 44, the adjustable valve 220 reverts to a previous location by an elastic force of a spring 22 to thereby isolate the nozzle settling part 201 from the mousse introducing space 202. However, when the mousse is introduced into the mousse introducing space 202 and thus the pressure therein increases, the pressure sensor automatically stops the operation of the motor pump 260.

In the fourth embodiment of the present invention as described above, the mousse container is not directly connected to a hair setting device but located at a separated place. Accordingly, the hair setting device can be miniaturized and light-weighed. Further, since a non-gas-cylinder-type mousse container with higher capacitance is placed at a separated place, an environmental pollution and a gas explosion can be prevented and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

A fifth embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 21.

In a mousse or spray supplying device in accordance with the fifth embodiment, a handle 300 having a comb 320 attached thereto is connected to a container 1 through a tube 330. Hair setting materials contained in the container 1 is provided to the handle 300 through the tube 330 and spouted between teeth of the comb 320.

The mousse/hair-spray supplying device in accordance with the present embodiment includes the handle 300 removably connected to the comb 320 and coupled to the container 1 through the tube 330, various types of combs 320 alternatively used depending on the necessity and a case for holding the combs 320.

Referring to FIGS. 15 and 16, the base portion 300 has a shape of a hollow pipe. A carrying passage 301 is installed within the handle 300 to carry the mousse or spray solution and opened/closed by a valve button 302 formed at a lower part of the handle 300. The valve button 302 is inserted to a hole vertically communicating with the carrying passage 301 at the lower part of the handle and usually operates to block the carrying passage 301 by using a spring. However, when pressed, the valve button operates to open the carrying passage 301. An O-ring is installed between the valve button 302 and the inner surface of the hole for an airtight.

A guide groove 305 is formed on an upper portion of the handle 300 in a lengthwise direction so as to connect the handle 300 to the comb 320. A slit 306 and a nozzle 307 are installed at bottom of the guide groove 305 to connect the guide groove 305 to the carrying passage 301.

A base portion 321 of the comb 320 is engaged with the guide groove 305 of the handle 300 to thereby connect the comb 320 to the handle 300. Spouting holes 322 for spouting the mousse solution or nozzle insertion holes for protruding the nozzle 307 are formed between respective tooth 324 of the comb 320. The combs 320 have different structures depending on the hair setting materials to be contained therein. For example, a comb for spray and a comb for mousse are different. FIGS. 15 to 18 illustrate different types of combs.

FIGS. 15 to 17 show combs for mousse, wherein the spouting holes 322 are located between the teeth 324.

However, in case spray is used as a hair setting material and discharged through the spouting holes 322, the spray is readily liquefied by touching the teeth 324, thereby failing to be uniformly coated on hair. As a solution to such problem, the nozzle 307 is installed at the guide groove 305 of the handle 300 in lieu of the slit and set to be communicated with the carrying passage 301. The nozzle 307 contains a cylindrical nozzle pipe 308 with a nozzle core 309 formed therein. Spray liquid sent to the carrying passage 301 travels through a space between the nozzle core 309 and the nozzle pipe 308 and is blasted through a bole formed at an upper portion of the nozzle pipe 308. The nozzle core 309 is provided at an outer surface thereof with protrusions or grooves (not shown), which cause the spray liquid passing through the nozzle to swirl.

FIGS. 16 to 18 exhibit the combs 320 for spray, wherein a nozzle insertion hole 323 is formed at the base portion of the comb 320 instead of the spouting holes. The nozzle pipe 308 is set to be projected between the teeth 324 and no tooth is prepared where the nozzle insertion hole 323 is formed.

Various types of combs having a different tooth size and length and a different intertooth distance is provided to satisfy various needs of users.

The outer surface of the handle 300 is provided with flexure 313 so that a user can hold the handle 300 more easily and comfortably. Further, a plate 310 is prepared at one side of the outer surface of the handle 310 to prevent the mousse or the spray discharged toward the comb 320 from flowing down to the user's hand.

One end portion of the tube 330 is led to a lower part of the handle 300 and the other end portion of the tube 330 is coupled to a nozzle of the container to thereby connect the handle 300 and the container 1. Further, an empty room 311 is formed at a lower part of the handle 300 to arrange and hole the tube 330, as illustrated in FIG. 21, when the mousse or spray supplying device is not in use.

Referring to FIGS. 15 to 17, one end portion of the tube 330 is connected to the nozzle 2 of the container and fixed thereto by a fixing nut 410. Then a nozzle 2 is pressed by an operating nut 420, which is engaged with a fixing nut 410. A hole is formed through the center of the fixing nut and the tube 330 is inserted through the hole The fixing nut 410 includes a plurality of fixing piece whose lower parts are separated from each other by a plurality of groves (not shown) formed at an outer surface of the fixing nut 410 in a direction of inserting the tube 410.

Further, a lower part of the operating nut 420 is engaged with an upper part of the container 1, wherein the joint position can be varied and the operation of the nozzle 2 can be adjusted by controlling the joint position. To be specific, when turned clockwise, the operating nut 420 becomes closely adhered to the top of the container 1. Then the applied pressure is propagated to the nozzle 2 through the fixing nut 410 engaged with the operating nut 420 and the pressured nozzle blasts the setting materials. To the contrary, when the operating nut 420 is turned counterclockwise, the pressed state of the nozzle 2 is released.

The mousse/hair-spray supplying device in accordance with the fifth embodiment as described above further includes a case 400 for keeping the comb 320, the container 1 and the handle 300.

As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the case 400 includes a plurality of fixing grooves 401 for holding the combs 320, a container supporting unit 410 for supporting the container 1 and a handle holder 402 for holding the handle 300. The case is sealed airtight by a cover (not shown).

The comb fixing grooves 401 are fabricated to have a size bigger than the combs in order to hold combs of various sizes. Elasticized supporting means 401 a are installed inside of the comb fixing grooves 401 in order to support the inserted combs.

The container supporting unit 410 is prepared as follows. A hole 411 having a predetermined diameter is formed at top of the case 400 and a cylindrical container supporter 412 with an open top is movably installed in the hole 411, wherein the container 1 is inserted through the open top of the supporter 412. Springs 413 are installed at inner walls of the container supporter 412 to elastically support containers 1 having a diameter of great variety. Further, a sphere-shaped joint 414 is fixed under the container supporter 412. Joint supporter 415 or a spring 416 is installed so as to movably support the joint 414.

To be specific, the joint 414 located right under the container supporter 412 is movably supported by the joint 415 or the spring 416 and there exists a space between the outer surface of the container supporter 412 and the inner surface of the hole 411.

Accordingly, the container supporter 412 can be moved from side to side or up and down along with the container 1 inserted therein.

A way of using the mousse or spray supplying device in accordance with the fifth embodiment and effects thereof will be described hereinafter with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18.

First, when mousse is used as a hair setting material, the mousse container 1 containing therein the mousse is mounted on the container supporter 412 and connected to the handle 300 through the tube 330. Then, the comb 320 for mousse is connected to the handle 300, wherein the spouting holes 322 are formed on the comb 320 as described above.

The user shakes the container supporter 412 put within the case 410 from side to side. Then, the user presses the nozzle 2 connected to the tube 330 by using the operating nut 420.
